Burst plotting/mining with Raspberry Pi2
-
@gpedro I made it working in PI Emulator on the desktop. On the real PI, it starts to mine and then crashes when find short DL or after a short period of time. I guess its the ARM compatibility which I don't know how to fix, compiling the miner didn't work on PI too.
-
@rnahlawi As far as i know the only miner that was built for running on ARM architechtures was the one in the Android Wallet so that was the reason for my suggestion of try to run an Android Version on the Pi but since i never used a Pi i don't even know if that is possible xD

@gpedro Never tried Android image on the PI. In theory it should work. I know for sure that this Android image works on PI and I will give it a shot this weekend.
Maybe @daWallet can give us his feedback as he's the owner of those tools.

@rnahlawi you missed a ")" xD
@daWallet and @IceBurst are the creators of that tools but i think they didn't tried this approach in Pi's only on mobiles, tablets and Android TV's!1faucet.burstcoin.pt | burstcoin.pt | I just help for pleasure but if you want donate some coins: BURST-JYHR-SPXP-YT22-5F4KM

@gpedro Better :D

@rnahlawi Much hahaha
Will be waiting for your feedback on that ;D Would love to see a Pi mine BURST?!

The Android project is designed to reach the masses. The Pi targets the "tinkering" community. The processing power of a Pi would make plotting and mining brutal if you had an external drive attached. I don't see it as a viable tool for mining if you have TBs attached externally as the processor still have to perform a number of SHA calculations (given only one per 4096 nonces)
Sorry my response wasn't more positive.

@IceBurst Plotting would be brutal, but with an external drive that was pre-plotted, could a Pi mine ?

Could it? Yes, Could it do it in a timely manor? Probably not. I don't have any empirical data to support this its just a hypothesis based on what I have seen in Android World.

@IceBurst That was my thought as well - but having never used a Pi I wanted a better informed opinion.

I agree with the older Pis, but some of the newer ones may be faster. Especially if the miner were written in python.

We have someone in here that i know is good in python ;D
@ccminer What are your thoughts?@IceBurst Thanks for the feedback... Ofc i don't think that for plotting a Pi would be good but for mining could be amazing if it reads with good times xD

I was thinking of building a pi cluster. How would that match up, or would it not be able to utilize all of the cpu's running.

Well what I wanted was to use my computer for plotting and regular computer stuff and to use my RPi2s as the platforms to run the wallet/miner for external HDDs attached to them, in over clock mode the processor gets about 1100 MHz I believe but I'd have to double check on that.

Don't remember off hane, do any Pi's have USB 3.0?

@gpedro I had the idea to write a python miner as I said while ago to @luxe, but I didn't even start to look at it!
about mining on PI I guess that the main problem will be the harware.- I don't know how many devices you can plug to it (it is usb 3??)
- I don't know how fast the whole procedure will be (rather slow I guess!)
In any case python should be faster than java in execute the scripts, so for sure is a better solutions for devices like PI

Even the latest raspberry pi 3 model B has only 4 x usb 2.0 ports.
They share the same bus as the 100mbit ethernet port meaning your total throughput on all 4 usb ports + ethernet port is capped out at 12.5MBytes/sClustering pis is a fun experiment, but for the cost ($35/unit + 3A power adapters + ethernet switch + powered USB hub) you would be able to get a cheap used x86 intel system with 4x sata connectors and slap in an old radeon hd gpu
I've been tinkering with pis a long time, and honestly unless you just happened to have a bunch laying around it wouldn't be a good investment for burst mining

@altcryptomining You could always get a powered usb hub.
-
@rapidfireman true, but you're still limited by the usb 2.0 throughput.
and for stability the raspi3 needs 2.4A power adaptor for itself anyway (onboard bluetooth and wifi are power hogs... who knew?)
-
@rapidfireman They're still be sharing that 12.5MB/sec system bus. For comparison - the SATA drive in your PC can do 125MB/sec.
